Hey, folks. I've just been playing around with Jack31081's super cool shirt templates... take a look:

Gives you a slightly better idea of what the actual shirts might look like. :-)

Wow... less than half a day left worth of voting and I'm back in the fog AND in the hotness... closing in fast on third place... I'd appreciate any votes headed my way, as things are getting down to the wire here!

Ontario chose the trillium as its provincial flower in 1937. This white flower grows in the forest in the springtime. It is called the trillium because it has three petals and three leaves. The “tri-“ part of trillium means three.

It doesn't bother me at all. Heck, we have so much ugliness on woot that it can get repetitive. The artist puts a sig on their design. Big deal.

The last few days have been horrible. I mean just fugalicious. That two legged sheep, the easter bear, tonights heads, the foo foo/ren & stimp rip off. I mean the list is endless. Random shirt offs are like waiting for a cancerous polyp to come in the mail. Joy.

Oh wait, was that snarky? I guess it was.

call me snarkycakes.

Jemma, I was just thinking that it was hard to love any of the recent dailies, and that we should ask people to vote carefully!

We did have some beautiful art this derby, but some of it is being ignored by the voters. It is amazing to me that with all the available talent, woot has selected some strange choices.

Many thanks for all of your support, I would like to extend my deepest apologies for not submitting this design sooner, unfortunately it took me longer to complete than I anticipated. Thanks again everyone, I hope we can still give this derby a good run! Sincerely, rogueangel.

As for kylemittskus, ttdesigns, snarkygal, peppersagooddog, eyeslikesugar and brizz:

Thank you for your input, the issue of my signature was discussed in depth during a previous derby entry, if you have any questions regarding it's use you may send me a PM and I will happily issue you a transcript of the discussion. I’m sure that you would agree that a repetitive theme, so thoroughly dealt with previously, provides no fuel for intellectual growth, nor is criticism without an alternate solution in any way constructive.

I look forward to conversing with any person, who wishes to address the use of indigenous themes, line, choice of colors, subject, or any other compositions found in my designs. Sincerely, rogueangel.

My only reservations about this is the design being too close to the bottom of the shirt (for tucker in-ers) and the cream background (some people are vehemently anti-creme!).

MOOSE TRIVIA
The male is called a bull, the female is a cow and the young are calves.
Moose make a strange whistle-like call and grunting noises.
The moose can be seen eating during the day and night, but they are usually out at dawn and dusk.
Moose often live alone.
They try to avoid humans.
A moose will go crashing through the trees when frightened.
An angry moose can be very dangerous.
In September and October the bulls use their antlers to fight each other to win females. Then in late fall the bulls' antlers fall off and new ones grow.

Too true Jemma and mjc613,

I've found myself quite baffled by woot's recent choices as well. Maybe we could appeal to woot to set up an "editor's choice" arena? Perhaps making modifications for these choices, like smaller runs than the derby winners, etc. It would be great to see a few of those great entries resurrected.

Oh, you're right, it sort of looks like he's giving you the "you're number one" sign. The intent there was for it to look like he's doing the "my team's number one" sign to show his confidence in his attempt to go over the falls in a barrel.

I think in order to look like the bird was really being flipped, the thumb would have to be on the other side.

This is the last morning of the Canadian derby. I need 9 stalwart souls to vote for the Beaver Mountie, so it can reach 300 votes by noon. I am asking those of you who voted for Get Busy, since I know that there are over 450 of you who appreciate this Canadian symbol.

Thank you to the 1st 3 stalwart souls. I now only need 6!
Remember, that is only to reach 300. If 400 of you want to vote, go right ahead!!!

Great Scott! Nearly five hundred votes now and I'm still in danger of not getting printed? With so many people showing their love for this shirt, I'm in awe. Less than four hours left, folks... can you help me make this little dream a reality? Thanks so much to all you wonderful people who have supported me so far... I really want to get to third place in time to make you all happy. If you haven't voted yet, now's the time! :-)

This doesn't look that complicated. I'm wondering if the people who reject entries bother to look at the large scale print image to determine if they are correct or not. Since this is a black and white image, a little spill between one gradient and another probably wouldn't affect the image anyway.

They try to, but sometimes run out of time. If you see something that does not fit the guidelines, you can use the tattle button, but I first try to ask for clarification on the shirt's thread.

I can't tell which shirt you are referring to, so I can't tell if it is truly gradients, or if they used dots from two colors next to each other. In the future, please don't delete the reply part of your note - it contains the thumbnail image of the entry you are referring to.

Since there are some similar design elements, and because this was a previous derby entry on woot, I thought it should be brought up.

Not that is matters because the Leap Year entry has absolutely nothing to do with the entry here, but I think you're thinly veiled attempt at sabotage would be better done had you not put the surrounding fog entries in your sig. Thought it should be brought up.

My signature has been the same for the last 24 hours.

This was new info to me, and I thought others deserved to know it.
I am not trying to thinly veil ANYTHING. I am stating facts as facts and opinions as opinions.

When this goes up on shirt.woot, make sure that you alert the Cyber Pub. Don't always make it over here after the pub. You know how that goes.

Thanks! It's not going to be printed though. It's in 10th place (which is nothing to shake a stick at) and since they only print the top 3...not so much. I will, however, always post a link to vote in the derby cyberpub in the future. ^_^

I don't know what I did to deserve this, but it's awesome. Thanks! ^_^
